Any love for Jennifer Coolidge here? I was watching Austenland and she completely steals the movie. Her faux-Cockney accent mixed with Jane Austen-ness is hilarious (I wish I could find a clip of her doing it). And she has always been funny in her other work.

Posted: 6/23/14 at 9:12pmShe's so quirky, and she brightens everything she shows up in.

Posted: 6/23/14 at 11:28pmAgree with Reggie's statement 100%. She's one of those women who... has all the right screws loose.

And even with a wobbly accent, she makes 2 Broke Girls funny.

A bit of the cockney.

Love her. She's one of those actors who just by showing up makes every scene better.

She's hysterical on an episode of "Friends" as a woman who moved briefly to England and comes back with a fake accent.

Posted: 6/24/14 at 7:50amJennifer as Amanda on Friends is hands down my favourite guest spot on the show. She is absolutely hilarious!

Posted: 6/24/14 at 7:51amCount me in. She's one of the funniest women on the planet, and was the best Edith Phelps Potter EVER! Only she could make the horrifying act of letting cigarette ash fall on a newborn baby's face fall on the floor funny. Still horrifying, but funny.

Don't forget her as the beautician in Legally Blonde. Bend and snap!

Just watch her in the background in the second scene. Hilarious.

Posted: 6/24/14 at 9:16amI was so very bummed that ELLING closed before I could see it. And even more bummed that it might discourage Coolidge from ever returning to the Broadway stage. She's one of my favorite funny ladies, and I'd kill to see her on stage.

Posted: 6/24/14 at 9:16amAnd that scene from Mighty Wind? Just hilarious. I wonder if it hurts to smile like that.... :P

Kristen Johnston tells a story, which I believe is about Coolidge, where Jennifer missed her entrance while appearing in The Women because she had to poop. Of course hearing Johnston tell the tale is where most of the hilarity comes from.

Posted: 6/24/14 at 6:22pmI think that she's our national comedic treasure, I am rooting for her to get an Emmy nomination. She can always do sooo much with the littlest material...

There's something so deceptively "un-polished" about her. When I first saw her in AMERICAN PIE, I thought she might be a civilian who was cast for her "natural" eccentricity.
Subsequent roles have proven her to be so enormously talented that I don't care whether she gets an accent right. She's quite obviously a pro, and still there's this sense that she might be a last-minute, emergency replacement from the nearby community theater.

Posted: 6/26/14 at 8:18amI bet that if someone ever had the courage to cast her in a straight dramatic role, she would absolutely blow us away.

She projects a true aura, which is very rare with screen acting. Your eye is always drawn to her when she appears on screen. It's no coincidence that her Two Broke Girls role always involves a big entrance with audience applause. It's a joke in and of itself, but also necessary.
If she wasn't wonderfully eccentric, but more mainstream, she would be a huge star.

Agree with all, she is a treasure and mb, I am sure she would be wonderful. How about a good remake of Stella Dallas?
On another note, did anyone who saw "Gentleman's Guide..." notice how much Lauren Worsham resembled Jennifer?

Posted: 6/26/14 at 11:43amMy brother only knew her as Stifler's mom. I made him sit down and watch Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. Now he knows her name and recognizes her in a bunch of films he didn't realize she was in. Such a wonderful comedy performer.

Gaveston, I love your thought about a last minute emergency replacement. It seems so true. And that is what is so great about her. That's what makes her.
And doodle, I love the idea of Stella Dallas. She could really make that role believable.

Did you not see The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans?

Posted: 6/28/14 at 1:33amLittleEdieFan, you made me think that we'll probably never get to see what Jennifer could do with the Little Edie Beale character. She's probably one of the few that could actually bring something interesting to the character.
